Zoology: Bones

The weeping capuchin monkey is a New World monkey found in South America. This intelligent primate has a broad diet of small vertebrates and bird eggs as well as fruit, nuts and vegetables. Its 20-inch tail is semi-prehensile and roughly doubles the length of this polygamous primate. A dominant male leads a group of 10 to 30 members, with mating rights to all receptive females. They have a lifespan in the wild of approximately 35 years. They can escape most predators by climbing up trees. They have more trouble escaping humans who desire them as pets.

All individual postcranial bones are also available, see SC-263.
